VANOS, I hate you!
With our e46 we had that exact same sound, like marbles in a can (only made the noise in the morning on a cold start) and it turned out to be a tensioner of all things.. We also had the other 'ticking/gurgling' sound or whatever coming from under the valve cover which we just dealt with.
True.

Nah, we haven't fixed it.. Probably not going to either lol.. We gave her brother the bimmer and bought ourselves the 350 instead which is 1000x better lol

True.
And i changed the oil- Nothing changed at all. Oh one more question. Is there any chance the noise is my timing chain. Cause my noise is pretty loud
you NEVER said not to... I believe you said i'll enjoy it. But Ive been wrong before. Well what about the timing chain? Could that be whats making the noise?
Its not that it really bothers me, I just dont want the timing chain to break and destroy my motor. Thats really my only worry, spending all that money then it fucking ruining the motor.
